No, you're not :D

If I didn't read it here, I'd never have known it was British N Proud day again.
how come it's kept such a secret?

You appear to be confusing the lack of ability to read a calendar with secrecy....;)

btw, St George is the patron saint of England (and many other countries/cities), not of Great Britain.

Happy St. George's Day.

Point of information.

St George's Day is the 2nd of May in the Church calendar this year, as the normal date clashes with Easter.

The reason is that the Saturday between Christ's crucifixion and resurrection is a day of mourning and so cannot also be a feast day for a saint.

I don't usually read a calendar to find out if today or tomorrow is a 'special' day.

Ridiculous. changing a date because something else clashes with it.
they'll look a bit odd celebrating it 2 weeks after everybody else.

Seeing as very few people will actually be feasting for the saint, and even fewer will be praying at him and hoping for his intervention in some crisis or other, I think that point of information is slightly moot. ;)

Still, how typically English to have a patron saint's day that's subject to delay or cancellation. :D

Now ... who thinks I should wrap myself in the flag and then go for a celebratory pint somewhere down Sauchiehall Street? :erm: :D

There was a guy in a full St. George get up doing parkrun at Pollok park today. He seemed to be chasing Scooby Doo for the run as well :spin:

Obviously not very special to you, then, if you can't remember it without being reminded....;)

btw, shouldn't it be ENP day?
